Double Chocolate Banana Muffins

I have a recipe for Banana Chocolate Chip Muffins that I love and make all the time. 

My eldest son and I eat them for breakfast and snacks, and I put them in his school lunch box for a homemade treat. 

As good as those muffins are, my youngest child does not like the flavor of banana, AT ALL, so those are a no-go for him. 

The good mom that I am wanted to trick him into eating a banana muffin without him even knowing it. 

These Double Chocolate Banana Muffins look like chocolate and taste like chocolate, so they must be chocolate!  

My trickery worked because my banana-loathing son LOVES these Chocolate Banana Muffins!  I mean, “double chocolate muffins”. 

The banana flavor definitely takes a back seat to the chocolate, but there is a nice hint of it; and don’t forget the moist texture the banana adds to the finished product!

These white chocolate raspberry muffins and oatmeal banana muffins are more great muffin recipes!

Ingredients needed for this recipe (scroll down to recipe card for complete recipe):

• Vegetable oil
• Sugar
• Eggs
• Vanilla
• Ripe bananas
• Vanilla yogurt
• All-purpose flour
• Cocoa powder
• Baking powder

How long are these banana chocolate muffins good for?

• Cranberry Banana Bread

NOTES: 

• I also made this recipe using a mini muffin pan.  It makes approximately 30 mini muffins.  To use a mini muffin pan, adjust the cooking times from 5 minutes at 425° to 3 minutes, and from 10-12 minutes at 375 to 8 minutes.
• I like the chocolate chips to be nice and melty inside the muffin, so I heat my next-day muffins in the microwave for about 10 seconds to get that fresh-from-the-oven melty chocolate goodness.

1x2x3x

• With a hand or stand mixer, mix the oil and sugar together until smooth, then add the eggs, vanilla, banana, and yogurt. Mix until combined.

• Fill muffin cups all the way. Bake at 425° for 5 minutes, then turn down oven to 375 (you don't need to take out muffins, just change the temperature of the oven) then and continue baking for 10-12 minutes or until fully cooked. Enjoy!

Notes

• This recipe was tweaked from Just So Tasty.
• Next day muffins are great when popped in the microwave for 10-12 seconds so the chocolate chips get nice and melty.
